UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JAMES EASTERLY, OF ALBANY, NEW YORK.

MAGAZINE SMOKE-GONSUMING STOVE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 12,382, dated February13, 1855; Reissued June 30, 1868, Nos. 3,009 and 3,010.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES EASTERLY, of the city of Albany, State of NewYork, have invented a new and improved method of constructing stoves forthe burning of every kind of fuel, but chiefly of bituminous coal, whichI call Easterlys Magazine Smoke- Consuming Stove, the design of which 1sto prepare the fuel intended to supply the waste of that which isconsuming by heating the same, and thereby distilling or volatilizingand consuming its bituminous and fuliginous matter and at the same timeregulating the amount of burning fuel to certain quantities as the samemay be required for habitual use.

I declare the following specification and drawings forming part of thesame to be a full and perfect. description of the stove and its parts.

Figure 1 represents a perspective "view of the parlor or hall stove.Fig. 2 represents a vertical section of the stove.

Similar letters in the drawings refer to the same parts of theapparatus. A represents the hearthplate on which stands the ashpit .13having in its upper region the grate Gr, above which is the fire chamberE which is a cylinder of sufficient diameter and height to contain whenfitted enough burning fuel for customary use. Above this stands themagazine M which is a cylinder less in diameter than the firechamber,and is as deep as may be found convenient and desirable for containing aproper supply of coal, without renewing the same. This magazine isclosed tightly at top so that no draft of air can enter it.

The fire chamber is less in diameter than the ashpit, and from the topplate of the ash-pit which projects beyond the fire-chamber, flues D, D,rise upward communicating above and opening into an annular chamber Jsurrounding the magazine, and from which chamber a flue or pipeP,carries ofi the heated air and gases into a chimney.

The ring which forms that part of the top of the fire chamber, lyingbetween its outer walls, and those of the magazine is pierced with slotsfor the admission of air, and is covered with another and similar metalring lying loose upon it, also pierced with corresponding slots at a, sothat when it isturned round over the other it may operate in the usualway as a register for the management of the draught of air to the fire.

The ash pit is closed tight with a door, G, and may be perforated withopenings in the metal (of a star form in the drawings) closed tight withtalc-glazing. Through these openings or windows I), b, the condition ofthe fire may be observed, which when burning properly will show a clearflame free from smoke.

The operation of the stove simply this: The fire being kindled in thefire chamber E the draft of air enters at a a and passes downwardthrough the grate G into the ashpit, thence up the flues D into thechamber J and through the pipe P into the chimney.

The magazine M being filled with coal and the top closed tight, thelower portion of the fuel presses down upon the burning mass in the firechamber, and becomes warmed by contact with it. This heats the coal anddistils from it the sulphur, bitumen &c., which wit-h their gases, passdown through the fire, and become consumed leaving the coal convertedinto coke, tr. supply the waste of the burnt fuel. The draft of airbeing ad mitted at a a the coal stored above its line, does not ignitebut is simply warmed and prepared for ignition as it approaches the firechamber.

It will be understood, from the character of this apparatus and natureof its operation,-that its form and arrangements may be variedconsiderably. I do not therefore limit myself to the forms representedon the drawings, but claim the right to arrange the apparatus in any waythat may substantially and appropriatelycarry out the principles ofconstruction and use above. set forth. An illustration of this is meantto be given in Plate 2, Fig. 4, which is a sectional sketch of a cookingstove as arranged to carry out our principles of construction.

I do not claim the use of a fuel magazine nor of a downward draft forthe fire, neither being claim The constructing a stove as hereinbeforedescribed, with openings for the admission of air to the burning fuel,at some point or points above the grate, including between said pointsand the grate sufiicient fuel for ignition at any one time.
